Postdoc in Thermal-Mechanical Modeling for Non-Destructive Inspection of Fiber/Polymer Composite Components and Structures – DTU Wind

Company:

Danmarks Tekniske Universitet

Job description

Job Description:The position holder will conduct finite element modeling with an emphasis on thermal-mechanical analysis of structural components made of fiber/polymer composite materials for non-destructive damage detection and characterization. The position holder will also support the experimental work for model verification and validations.Responsibilities and qualifications
You are expected to work on the following topics:

• Finite element modeling, preferably using Abaqus, to simulate the thermal-mechanical response of fiber/polymer composite components under different loadings, e.g., thermal and/or mechanical excitations.
• Development of thermographic testing methods or laboratory experimental validation
• Investigate new scientific principles and concepts of thermographic methods for potential damage inspection in large-scale composite components.
• Writing papers for international scientific journals
• May teach and supervise MSc student projects
• May participate in the research proposal writing

Preference will be given to applicants that can document:

• Publication track records in the relevant field
• Experience in thermography and other NDT techniques
• Experience in Abaqus under subroutines and code development
• Experience in mechanical testing of composite materials and/or structures
• Ability to work with other researchers and engineers in an international working environment
• Fluency in communicating, reading and writing in English

As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).We offer
